Payton came to town, so it was the perfect time for our first annual Gammpottsie Day. That's Collier talk for grandparent's day -- a rip-roaring celebration with our "older" grandchildren! Prerequisite: must be potty trained.

This year we invited Payton and Lily.

First, we changed into pajamas. Lily would NOT step foot into her zip up footie PJs. She insisted on wearing two-piece just like her cousin, Payton. Luckily he had an extra pair to share.

We built a fort.

Popped Popcorn

And watched a movie.

Lily and Payton were more than a little bit excited about going swimming.

But first it was time to jump on the beds,

Say Prayers

And give good-night kisses.

Before we knew it, we were up again with the early birds.

Waffles for Breakfast

Time for a morning swim.

We topped off our Gammpottsie Day with Lunch and Fun at Chick-fil-A.

I don't know about Potts, but Gammie had to take a nap after all was said and done. Where did I ever get the energy to raise five children! But Payton, Lily, Potts, and I had such a great time. We can't wait for Evylee to join us next year.

About Me

It is likely that my personal life's events and perceptions will be the central focus of this sight; but Randy and I are eternally connected, thus the Blog Title. The best thing in life is to reach the point of Grand-parenthood. "Gammie and Potts" are the nicknames we have assumed. I have just turned fifty-years-old. In an attempt to stay "with it" in society, I have become a blogger. My husband (and his photography), my children, my grandchildren, the gospel of Jesus Christ, and music are my passions in life. What better way to share them!
